Paving and Drainage

 Here are photos of a job we completed where waterproofing installed by the original builder had failed and existing drainage installed by the builder was very inadequate and failing. To complete this repair we undertook the following work.

• Lifted concrete pavers over the concrete slab where waterproofing below had failed.
• Lifted pavers laid on clay which had sunken.
• Removed lucky stones which had been placed over clay allowing weeds to grow through.
• Waterproofed the exposed slab.
• Removed inadequate storm water pits and excavated fo lager one piece pits.
• Installed larger storm water pits and grates.
  
• Formed up then mixed and poured concrete slabs where pavers and stones had been placed on clay.
• Relaid pavers over new slabs and filled surround with higher quality stones salvaged from elsewhere on the same job.
• Re-laid concrete pavers over correctly waterproofed existing slab and rebating larger galvanised steel grates into the relaid pavers.
• All clay and other waste not required was removed from site.
  

 

Terracotta Paving

 We were asked to create a paved area at the rear of an inner city terrace using terracotta pavers. This job involved demolition of an old external brick toilet and laundry then excavation before creating a sunken level area with adequate drainage and timber sleeper retaining. All materials for the project and waste from the demolition had to be transported through the terrace as there is no side access.
